the earth recycles them. it is not a forced human thing, just “if” the item was just tossed onto the ground. plastic will be there for ever and ten days. glass and tin will be reduced back the native elements.

question? is there cell phone service in the camp area? i would like to buy something off another here and just need a way for each of us to find each other. flags might help, but the best wat is to be able to talk.

very true,

i deliver food stuffs to a fastfood chain. and in our trucks the freezer temp must never get above 10F. the cooler temp must never get above 38F. that is the air temp, the product is colder. at home i keep my freezer below 15F, and cooler below 35F, but then i have this problem where if any food is just "off" i get sick. you and most will not. but i will. i used to be able to eat most everything. not now. so for my health, i dump a lot of "old" foods. and take are on all food handling. so to me a proper working reefer is a must. even all my dishes go through a sanitizer. (used to be a machine called a "dishwasher"). and no i am not a nit-picky clean nut case. so reading good and bad about both styles is good info to me. at the cost of a new rv, i want to make sure i get the best i can for my needs. sure i am leaning toward a 120ac style. but as i boon-dock mostly it just brings up a question on how they work with no shore hookup for 120 ac.

i gave up on birthdays and such party's decades back, have had plenty, but need more years to go, so i figure if i stop having them i should be around a while longer.

what happened. a full year has passed by already. last year had to pay to get my truck fixed. so had no money for even fuel. still short on cash but truck is working great right now. so i should be there this year. i guess camp will be in the same area as last year?

if they are coming out with these crazy hot lights, then i will repay in kind with my off road flood lights, and mine are far brighter. not good for the factory to build headlights that blind oncoming traffic.

interesting reading here. lets here more from those who have done both. good and bad each way. i plan on buying a new 5er in the next couple years. yes to solar prep. (save a bit on gasoline costs). yes to installed gen. ( a gen hanging off the back just looks funky). ???? on the reefer. (never known any with problems with a two way deal, ver a 120 volt unit). yes to more than two propane tanks. 4 if possible. (seen too many run out and get very cold). yes i boon-dock mostly, heck very rarely have i been where i could "hook-up"

yes i can understand that. here in the hills were i live there is this saying. mind the three "S'". Shoot, Shovel, Shut up. i am setting up a rear hanger off my 5er for a honda eu 3000, it will be made heavy, the eu will be bolted and welded inside a cage, to help keep it from walking away. even the rack will be bolted and security locked to the rv. better to think paranoid, then have to buy another.

i am not a geek. heck i have trouble keeping in the magic smoke. but i do understand a bit on this subject. but yes to the rf problem. not a fcc problem here, as most everything puts out and accepts rf interference. so could be a problem keeping your settings if not built to a very tight tolerance. (thus the cost point of the factory built stuff). your welder will put out far more rf than this controller you want. pending where and how the rf is at on the bands, just welding could "reset" your settings. or even fry out a part in the electronics. no contact needed, just the rf can do this. i try to do as much my self, but somethings are best to bite it and just buy the stuff, as it will do the job the right way. yes i know hurts the wallet. but only once.

true, a mail forwarding service, as well as a po box is a valid address. the small office is a legal valid fixed address also. as many use such for llc reasons. if the IRS, FCC, FAA, BATF&E, other letter agency's says good, then it does work for a "legal" fixed address. mostly a fixed address is only needed for a way to come and get you if needed. but as like in a po box, you have to prove a fixed address to start up the rental. but this is only to prove you live in that postal area. (very limited number of boxes to rent out). but yes a room to stay for repairs is a bonus. but then you need a very good friend willing do do such. (bed tax thing here). but for everyone using a mail forwarding service, there are at least 1000 using a po box, or a privet mail box service. if for no other reason then secure mail receiving. my dl, auto reg papers, ccw's from a number of states, utility bills, tax papers, etc all have my fixed address printed on them. but all have my po box as the "mailing" address (not listed on such cards). pending the privet box address it can work as a fixed address, such as how escapees works. the usps does not like to "forward" mail.

i own a eu3000, for my fifth wheel. only one ac so no problem. six 6 volt deep cycle, and just might add in some solar this spring. so no matter the reason i will have plenty of juice. i do have a med need for a air pump on over night, and full time air filters/fan. have only used a park once in over 10 years, (this june will be in a park). just bought a bunch of steel to build a carrier for the back of my rv, the eu will be bolted too, and in a welded cage so not easy to just walk away, and the carrier will not be so easy to carry off. but yes if a bunch of goons want it.... it is gone.

or, in a very small burg, rent/buy a small office. (really just a 10 sq X 10 sq area of a closet sized place), this qualifies as a legal address, and have all mail sent to your "po box". this is legal, sketchy... maybe. but legal. maybe even go as far as doing a llc, or something along those lines. and i am sure the "owner" of the rented space will like the income, even if only $100.usd a year... times how many? as long as everything else is correct and above board. will/should work for a gun buy. insurance, taxes, voting, etc.

do you have air brakes on your rv? you can tap into this source for tons of compressed air. even to change out a tire. if not then one can not go wrong buying the best, ( buy once, cry only once) but if possible add in a 5 gallon supply tank.

i can not say for any other state, but here behind the wall in ca. there is street address and mailing address. so dl, carry permit, gas/electric, etc. bills are printed with street addy. but everything mailed to my “P,O” box. so i see no problem with a mail forwarding service.

now if only the caning company's would just go NO salt. sad as the combo listed must be way over 2000mg a serving just for salt. the Dr's say my bp is too high, even with the drugs they give me. but can anyone out there give me a link proving salt cases a higher bp reading.

just go this way, all transmissions are understandable. aka: not coded up to keep you out. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radioreference.broadcastify&hl=en_US

not everybody should have or carry a gun. but as one who does, the most important thing is knowing what is about. (keeping the gun under cover is best, as it is the LAST thing to touch). but as said earlier in this thread, keep up on what is going on around you, who is watching, walking around. etc. yes take photos, so what if the crook sees you taking there photo, it will encourage them to go away. if you do not feel right about that "camp" down the road...move. (sorry police) sure call 911, after all the police are only a hr ( https://www.asecurelife.com/average-police-response-time/ ) --in the citys only--. more away if your in the sticks. the crime can be all done within 5 min. i do not mean to bash the police, as they do have the hands full, and can not be on every corner all the time. and then some calls just have to wait in line. then this. https://consumerist.com/2014/02/24/if-youre-wanted-by-the-police-dont-call-911-to-complain-about-burger-king-order/

not every physical address has a garage to park in. sure has a house on said land, just not even a covered place to park a car/truck/etc.

i have these "plastic" plates. (not really sure of the mtr) they even can hold up to my usage mostly. i once put a plate on a hot stove burner. it shattered all over the kitchen. glasses, even the plastic do not survive me. so this thread is of interest to me. good info.

as i know it, (never been a lawyer) that still holds true. but not sure if that included "any other gun that can be hidden on the body" or if that is just about carry. the new occupant of the governors office in sac, just signed a bunch of new anti freedom laws, his belief is any restriction on the public is good. and not just in dealing with firearms.

no. as in keep your dog away from my tires. and i never have liked a dog licking my face. but then maybe i should pee on there tires?

i double down on that.

sad to say but in ca the doj is know to give bad info, and they are the ones who will come after you for violating there rules. so it is not always best to believe even the states enforcement body. i can not say how "other" states handle this, but here the laws and reading of such change all the time. or they are misinformed. (the government employees that is). best source for info in ca is through the https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/index.php web site. this site does not clam to be a lawyer, but many pro freedom lawyers are monitors there or can get you to the correct source of info or lawyer for your needs.

I know, I know. a unloaded gun is just a rock. i have been stuck here in ca all my life, so i just know as normal. but as long as no interaction with the police all is good. but a bolted down lockable storage is legal here. just the law states "glove box, and center console". the so called "safe gun list" is just a farce, if a manf did not want to spend the cash decades back for each pistol and mod, then it failed the "test" even if one modal was in black, another in chrome. a third in cameo. but all made the same other than color. each line had to buy into this garbage. now NO gun can be added till two different company's offer the electronic anti use tech in that line of pistol. so s&w has to build the pistol, but company's X and Z product must be build in there product at s&w factory. (customer gets choice of whose anti gun tech to buy).
